Tate Sage - X-factor against Huskers Sage posted 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Thursday's 77-71 win over Nebraska. Impact Tate picked an incredible time to have the best game of his freshman year, setting season-highs in both scoring and rebounding and helping the Hawkeyes advance to their first Elite Eight since 1987. He had scored just two points in 15 minutes combined in two previous matchups against Nebraska this season, making the standout effort here all the more impressive. He was essentially the perfect counter punch for Nebraska's versatile bigs that could shoot the three, and while it's unclear if this will carry into the Elite Eight against the Illini, it is worth noting he scored 13 points across 29 minutes in a previous loss to Illinois back on Jan. 14.
